Colleen Gianatiempo is a mixed media artist, educator, and designer living and working in her new location in St. George, Utah. Colleen approaches life the same way she paints, by embracing the mystery, staying open to change, finding courage, honoring her intuition and trusting the journey. Her signature style is colorful, layered, contemporary, and distinctive! Nature is her main influence as she always marvels about the design and beauty it beholds. In 2017, Colleen earned an MFA in Non-Figurative abstract painting from the Academy of Art in San Francisco. As her formal art career developed, she has been privileged to be selected for several heart-themed public art projects including Hearts of San Francisco, Sea Lions of San Francisco, and Small Town with A Big Heart Mural in Martinez. This has given her the reputation as “the Artist with a Heart”.
